A possible question.
"Some vehicles used on the roads, and frequently involved in motor
vehicle accidents, use multi-wheel drive involving differential gear
mechanisms. Drivers of other sorts of vehicle are usually severely
injured in such accidents. Should such vehicles be banned?"

Another possible question.
"Some vehicles used on the roads, are involved in motor vehicle accidents.
Drivers of other vehicle and pedestrians are usually severely injured in
such accidents. Should such vehicles be banned and replaced by smaller
vehicles with two wheels or horses?"

Another alternative might be:
"Most vehicles used on the roads, and those most often involved in motor
vehicle accidents, do not use multi-wheel drive involving differential gear
mechanisms. Should such vehicles be banned?"

My gran had her arm broken by a pavement 'cyclist' therefore we should ban
bicles too. Taking their safety logic to it's extreme- getting out of bed is
dangerous!

Most motoring accidents are not accidents they are examples of bad driving.
So it could be argued that all or most motoring accidents are avoidable.
Perhaps the drivers who cause the accidents should be banned.

My old Rover 218 has multi wheel drive (2 wheels) and uses a
differential gear mechanism between the two front wheels ....
What does the transmission have to do with accident prevention anyway?

Well said Tim, an accident can be caused by anything, a four legged drive
horse for instance, or, maybe a four legged dog.
A further possibility for causing accidents is a four wheeled car. The fact
that all four wheels cant be driven in a four wheel (2 wheel drive car) at
the same time makes for a poor argument.
Shall we all start driving 3 wheelers??
